Aug. 11. One manInnocently spread the typhoid epidemicthat has thrown Moorcstown und theneighboring townships Into a stale ofterror with Its total to-day of thirtytwo cases und one death.This declaration was made this afternoon by Dr. !'. (1. Stroud, secretaryand inspector for the local Hoard ofHealth, us showing the results of acareful Investigation by Slate lnMiectors Howen and McDonald.Soon after their Investigation openedthe State experts stnted the troublewns In the milk supply from a dairyfarm. Tor sanitation about the cows,barns and care In handling and marketing milk the farm, strangely enough,has been one of the best In the county,nccordlng to the local Inspectors' records, yet in eery case where the feverhas developed the milk from this dairyhad been supplied to that home.As a final effort to locate the sourceof Infection the Inspectors made bloodtests of all the employees. The reportjust received from the State laboratories, the experts say, contains thosolution of the sudden spread of theepidemic.TheM) reports, according to Dr.Stroud, show that the manager ut thodairy farm, an expert dairyman and towhose efforts the dairy owes Its highottlclal sanitary standard, Is what Isknown among physicians as a "typhoidcarrier.""His blood shows the typhoid reaction In virulent form." said Dr.Stroud. "Yet the strange thing aboutIt Is that the man himself has notknown ho was HI. On two recent afternoons, he says, he did not feel verywell, but attributed It to the heat orsome other minor cause.1 "He did not even stop working all thistime his system was shedding the germsthat we are now satisfied caused theepidemic."The man. of course, dlu not knowthat he possessed this strange, deadlyInfluence for Infecting a whole community as ho worked In the dairySuch cases are rare and a dairy Is byfar the most dangerous place In whichWe could look to discover u 'typhoidcarrier.' "His unconscious propensity for diffusing the typhoid bacilli, say the physlclans, was remarkably demonstrated, Inhis own home. Two of his children alenow critically 111 with the fever.

One of the victims Is ason of the owner of the farm."With the milk supply from the dairyshut off and every other dairy underclosest observance and with the people,using every precaution to protect themselves, 1 believe we havo the epidemicunder control," said Dr. StrouJ. "Ononew case was reported this morning,but residents should not he ularmed Ifseveral casts develop during the nextweek, as the disease does not showItself until about a fortnight after Infection of (he patient."I would agnln urge through thepublic press the necessity for boilingtill water and milk and cooking nil foodconsumed until danger Is past.'Fifty prominent cltlcns attendedthe last meeting of the Health Roadand urged Chairman William H, I.lpplncott and his fellow members to spareno expense In thrlr efforts to halt thyepidemic.Rich residents of the richest suburban town In south Jersey promisedto contribute any amount needed.Typhoid has been far too prevalent Inthis section, citizens say, even priorto the pre-ent alarming epidemic, andthe town's water supply has come In forconsiderable criticism from health authorities.
